So it's very likely I put the 1970 Ram IV block up for sale around late 1998 or early 2000s.

Yeah it’s a shame when that happens you lose some good stuff you should have kept. I sold a bunch of cars to buy my first house and I regret all of them. I was self employed and needed 20 percent down for no income verification loan. Sold my 70 Chevy pick up chopped and lowered w a big block and th 400 for $4500! Was such a good truck too. Been searching for it to buy it back someday. Saw it later on line for $2k w the big block missing and the hood in the bed. Look sad could never get the guy to answer a PM kn the site it was for sale .
